The brain is a mystery. As the central organ of the body, constituting our being and essence, its structures and functions are still not fully understood in many respects. Neuroscience is currently making the greatest research efforts to solve the mysteries of the brain. From this it draws innovative approaches for the diagnosis and therapy of neurological diseases, especially in Berlin, especially at the Charité.

The exhibition The Brain in Science and Art raises the curtain. It presents a walk behind the scenes to everyone who is interested. It reveals just how detailed the map of the brain can now be drawn, where perception, feeling, memory and thinking are located, how the individual regions of the brain are networked to form higher functional units and which targeted medical support is on offer today when brain functions are impaired by age, illness or accident.
